I have one cascading every year over the fence onto the street and as
much as I have thought and researched the edibility of all the 200
plus plants I grow, beleive me I have never thought of eating this
sweet pea! Somehow it has never crossed my mind and I wouldn't. The
peas are very small, the pods are hairy and instinctively it has never
appealed to me ;o)
